Venue: La Cárcel Cinemateca

The question at the heart of this new documentary, posed to some of Spain’s leading writers is simple, but not easy to answer: why do we still bother to write? Among those attempting to answer the question are Rosa Montero, Marta Sanz, Antonio Orejudo, Andrés Neuman, Juan Gabriel Vázquez and Rafael Reig.

Length: 57 minutes, with a 10-minute introduction by the director, followed by a 15-minute discussion.
